From The Pilot:
“Stop it. They’re only demons.”
Father Glenn Sudano, cofounder of the Franciscan Fathers of the Renewal and official exorcist of the Archdiocese of Newark, had that advice for students of a college seminary about demonic influence. Seminarians reported growling noises outside their rooms, drawers opening and closing by themselves, and unseen hands banging on doors. Father Sudano said that the next time they heard or saw any supernatural activity, they should simply say: “Stop it. This is my room. Get out of the room.” After that, and another blessing, the disturbances stopped. Sure, Father Sudano said, the demons were making noise and causing a disturbance — but an eight-year-old can do that.
